I live in Phoenix, Arizona, with my husband and dog and a toddler who never sits still. Baby boy #2 is due in summer 2023.

I’m the senior copywriter for a Fortune 300 company and I run Chels Knorr, LLC, where I write and edit and sometimes teach workshops. My new book, Arizona Family Outdoor Adventure (University of New Mexico Press’ Southwest Adventure Series) is now out and is available wherever books are sold.

I've worked with brands including Intuit QuickBooks, 24 Hour Fitness, Wayfair and Angie's List, and have written for several publications including Arizona Highways Magazine.

To be a good writer, you have to be a good reader, so I read a lot. I’ll read any genre*, any age-level so long as it’s well-written and story-driven. See what I’m reading on my GoodReads.

My super power is always being able to fit one more thing in the dishwasher. I’m a life-long Law & Order fan. I always have a book in my purse.

I'm currently working on: fixing up a midcentury house, raising a toddler to be kind, writing a novel and launching a greeting card line.

*It has to be realllllllly good for me to want to read sci-fi though.
